Does anyone know of a good resource for green building materials? I am looking for a single source for all sorts of materials for building homes that way I don't have to look in umpteen different books or sites just to do one project.

There's one on this site and I am assuming they are only going to make it larger. Just surf around this site. its more than just a forum you know.

I guess this site is sort of new and working on the level of information. I have seen a few resources online, but I hope this one really helps with bringing everything together in an informative way.

There is indeed a new product catalog in the works for Green3DHome.com. The list should include the typical information on products as well as information in regards to the relevant standards, pricing and green attributes. If you think it lacks something once its up, feel free to comment on this thread and we can look at adjusting information.

any news on that catalog?

I have heard that there is a Green Spec out there. I can't remember where and I think its a pay service type thing or maybe a book.

Green Spec is a product of buildinggreen.com who also provide the publication, Environmental Building News.

I looked up Green Spec and its expensive. I can't see paying that much for what I want to do with it. I am sure that its well worth the money for those who need such detail.

IMHO I don't think Green Spec is worth it unless you are a serious builder with sustainable building projects. For the home owner, buyer or novice, its just too much.
